A mother described as an 'adrenaline junkie' died on her first skydive - alongside her instructor - when their parachute failed to open as expected, an inquest has heard.
Skydive instructor Adam Harrison and Belinda Taylor, who was strapped to him on her first jump, died when the parachute failed to open and they crashed to the ground.
Senior Devon coroner Philip Spinney said they died from multiple injuries, with their bodies found in a field near the Dunkeswell airfield in east Devon on June 13.
The Exeter hearing was told mother-of-four Ms Taylor, 48, was taking part in a tandem parachute jump when she and her instructor exited the aircraft for the freefall jump.
Mr Spinney said: 'The parachute did not open as expected and they died as a consequence of the injuries sustained in the fall.'
